    To the First Women Film Festival (as previously listed): This has been a terrific win for all of us at Pertúrpure Cinema. Women's feelings of Liberty come in all forms and sizes, and the one we present herein is one of the most silenced ones, even by women ourselves. Becoming relevant in a country where the female struggle is one of the most resonating truly fills our hearts and minds with hope and purpose. Thank you in earnest for bestowing Love Without a Casket (Amor sin féretro) with the honour of becoming an Award Winner in the Women's Rights category.

    Thank you for my film Sous Tension. My team and I are really thrilled with what the film is experiencing across the globe! Under tension goes around the world and to pass between the eyes of your selectors and jury is an honor that you do us! Thank you very much for everything, you knew how to open your heart and your feelings about violence against families but also knew how to appreciate the artistic side of the film. Thank you very much, you are a great Festival ! Mireille Fiévet
